This runaway pup survived on the street for three years before being reunited with her family.

Ginger went missing in August of 2015 in Burlington, IA, six hours plus from her home in the town of Ucross, WY.

She was Jennifer George’s dog, by way of her mom, who had passed away four months earlier.

The family was in town because George’s husband, BJ, was on a business trip. They’d decided to bring Ginger along rather than board her and the unthinkable happened. She broke away in the neighborhood where they’d been renting a house and disappeared.
